Hello, I saw the "correction" you made to the commas-in-quotes bit I'd added. That's cool, but I thought I'd mention (since you teach writing) that in British English (which I was using there) the punctuation goes outside the quotes, i.e, something like this: He said "Hello". It's just one of those little differences we have, and not a criticism of the edit you made or anything like that. Which you use in Wikipedia depends on the subject, the first author, and a few other things. In this case, your correction was appropriate.

Thanks, Neale, for reminding me so graciously. I actually did know this, but am so used to applying the American rule when editing student papers, I went into auto-pilot mode. From hereon, I'll only apply the American English rule if the rest of the article uses it. --Girl.at.bat 19:23, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proof Request

[edit]

I just uploaded and article for Gyo Fujikawa and would love some copy editing. It's a short one, can you help? --Knulclunk 19:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Jfk-publicity-photo.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Jfk-publicity-photo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 22:21, 16 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
